Over three games last week, the Grosse Pointe South girls soccer team picked up a win, a loss and a draw. The win came last Wednesday when the Blue Devils hosted Chippewa Valley and used a big night on offense to secure a blowout, 7-1 victory.
The very next night, South traveled to L’Anse Creuse and did not find the same success reaching the back of the net. The Blue Devils failed to score once after tallying seven goals the night before in a 1-0 loss. South then returned home Saturday against Northville and found a result in the form of a 1-1 draw.
North’s girls soccer team also had a trio of games over the past week. Unfortunately for the Norsemen, all three games ended in losses.
Facing off against Romeo on the road last Wednesday, North fell 2-0. The Norsemen stayed on the road for a game last Friday night against Dakota, losing 4-0.
The team finally returned home Monday but did not find much success against Anchor Bay in another MAC Red matchup, suffering yet another loss. Trailing 1-0 at halftime, the Norsemen surrendered two more goals in the second and ended with a 3-0 loss.
Both teams are on the road again this week for non-league matchups. North visits Birmingham Groves on Friday night while South travels to Sterling Heights Stevenson also on Friday.
